University professor trying to develop technologies that help people better listen to and build upon differing ideas. Way easier said than done.

@caahayes [1 of 4] It has been a pleasure! Again, you can stay tuned for updates on DiALoG and my other educational technologies by following me here on Twitter (please encourage colleagues to follow as well!) or visiting my ASU website: https://t.co/Ezdw6AXB5j #NSTAchat

@caahayes A6: [6 of 6] Here is a link if you’d like to learn more about Joe Feldman’s (@JoeCFeldman) grading for equity approach: https://t.co/PGEfwEDjlA #NSTAchat

[J. Bryan Henderson @JBryanHenderson]

@caahayes A6: [5 of 6] Joe Feldman’s (@JoeCFeldman) Grading for Equity book makes a compelling case for this approach to grading, and I am interested in running some experiments to test these grading ideas myself. #NSTAchat

[J. Bryan Henderson @JBryanHenderson]

@caahayes A6: [4 of 6] There is some (we need more) evidence that less “busy work” and more high-stakes assignments with flexible due dates and the opportunity for retakes can result in more equitable grading. #NSTAchat

[J. Bryan Henderson @JBryanHenderson]

@caahayes A6: [3 of 6] Instead of penalizing students for not being “responsible” or “diligent,” acknowledge they have a lot of other stuff going on and that getting something done by a certain time is not as important as doing something with QUALITY when circumstances allow. #NSTAchat

[J. Bryan Henderson @JBryanHenderson]

@caahayes A6: [2 of 6] A lot of “busy work” assignments with firm due dates are grounded in old-school behaviorist conceptions of schooling. Especially with a pandemic, there can be many reasons why a student might not be able to always turn in an assignment on time. #NSTAchat

[J. Bryan Henderson @JBryanHenderson]

@caahayes A6: [1 of 6] I think during challenging times where there are myriad different complications that different students face in their lives outside of school, we need to rethink how we grade assignments and when they are due. #NSTAchat

[J. Bryan Henderson @JBryanHenderson]

@caahayes A5: Similar to the emotional health question, I really think it is important to view stressors/challenges not as limitations in your teaching abilities, but as genuine opportunities for your teaching skills to GROW. #NSTAchat

@caahayes A4: [7 of 10] Here are links to the DiALoG articles in #NSTA Science Scope: https://t.co/Ce4k3v7Jpm https://t.co/mxDpR5hMcU #NSTAchat

[J. Bryan Henderson @JBryanHenderson]

@caahayes A4: [6 of 10] Two articles by our research team in the in the Jan/Feb issue of #NSTA Science Scope share how we have been developing DiALoG, which is a responsive framework and technology for teachers to formatively assess classroom SPEAKING and LISTENING. #NSTAchat

[J. Bryan Henderson @JBryanHenderson]

@caahayes A4: [5 of 10] Summative assessments are assessments OF learning. Formative assessments are assessments FOR learning. #NSTAchat

[J. Bryan Henderson @JBryanHenderson]

@caahayes A4: [4 of 10] With summative assessments, it’s too late to modify instruction based on a gauge of prior student thinking/experiences because the instruction has already taken place. #NSTAchat

[J. Bryan Henderson @JBryanHenderson]

@caahayes A4: [3 of 10] This is where formative assessment can really help. Formative assessments allow teachers to assess prior student thinking/experiences DURING new learning. #NSTAchat
